Instead of covering more of the world, NBC took an In Depth look at the average American day, assigning Lee Cowan to mine statistics published in a survey by Time magazine. The snapshot included averages such as a lengthy 8:38 hours of sleep each night, a 18-to-36 minutes breakfast and a snappy 25-minute commute to work. An average daily exercise workout lasts 17 minutes and viewers average three hours each day watching television "looking at celebrities who they, on average, will outlive by about 13 years." ABC anchor Charles Gibson, too, mentioned the Time averages in passing: "The average household," he observed, "has more TVs than people." Cowan claimed the average person sleeps alone; Gibson countered that most of us share our bed "with a person or a pet."
